- [00:00:00.000]Welcome to the University of
- [00:00:04.500]Nebraska. The Department of
- [00:00:07.440]Mathematics and the
- [00:00:08.340]University are committed to
- [00:00:10.150]your success. One of your first
- [00:00:11.990]steps is the math placement
- [00:00:13.160]exam,
- [00:00:13.440]which is designed to help you
- [00:00:14.820]start in the right math course
- [00:00:16.260]based on your current knowledge
- [00:00:17.460]and
- [00:00:17.880]academic requirements. This is
- [00:00:19.860]a crucial step toward your
- [00:00:21.260]success in college. To ensure
- [00:00:24.260]accurate
- [00:00:24.960]placement, take this exam
- [00:00:26.410]honestly, without help from
- [00:00:27.990]others or outside resources.
- [00:00:29.820]Being placed in
- [00:00:31.620]the wrong course could set you
- [00:00:32.970]back, making your math journey
- [00:00:34.420]harder or delaying your
- [00:00:35.690]progress. Once
- [00:00:37.260]you enroll in a course, your
- [00:00:38.720]readiness will continue to be
- [00:00:40.030]confirmed through classwork,
- [00:00:41.520]assignments, and possibly a
- [00:00:42.980]readiness assessment early in
- [00:00:44.500]the semester. So how should you
- [00:00:46.740]prepare
- [00:00:47.440]for the exam? Take advantage of
- [00:00:49.440]the practice exams available
- [00:00:51.240]online, especially if you haven't
- [00:00:53.310]taken
- [00:00:53.460]math recently.
- [00:00:54.960]The practice exam site also
- [00:00:56.700]provides details on how the
- [00:00:58.640]test works and helpful review
- [00:01:00.540]materials.
- [00:01:01.260]You may take the math placement
- [00:01:02.970]exam only three times
- [00:01:04.160]throughout your college career.
- [00:01:06.240]Here are a couple of test
- [00:01:08.170]taking tips. Have some scratch
- [00:01:10.980]paper ready. A graphing
- [00:01:13.740]calculator is
- [00:01:14.460]optional, but you should be
- [00:01:15.760]able to complete the exam
- [00:01:16.840]without one. If you have
- [00:01:18.920]questions,
- [00:01:20.040]new students should contact New
- [00:01:22.120]Student Enrollment.
- [00:01:24.960]Current students should follow
- [00:01:27.140]the instructions given or reach
- [00:01:29.700]out to the Department of Mathematics
- [00:01:31.320]if needed. Good luck and go Big
- [00:01:33.980]Red!
